I had the opposite experience in Colombia. A bad taxi driver stole my iPhone in Medellín. I tracked the phone to a bad neighborhood in the south where he changed the phone’s name to Juan’s iPhone. The cops were more professional and helpful than I’ve experienced anywhere else in the world. They met me in the neighborhood and we tracked the phone to a six story apartment building. I assumed that was the end of it, because I knew the location but not what floor of the building it was on, but the cops said they knew of a taxi driver with a reputation for stealing phones. We went to his apartment and knocked. In that moment my iPhone went offline, so it was obvious he was there and knew the cops had found him. The police asked us to go to our taxi and pretend to leave. Meanwhile they wandered the neighborhood pretending they were still trying to track the phone. The trick worked. The phone thief made a run for it and we caught him. I was blown away by how effective and dedicated the Medellín police were.

@@TheFruitingChamber of course I used a passcode. Not sure how he got around it, but I know the thief jailbroke the phone, and I was surprised I could still track it after he did that. I could have simply reported it lost/stolen to Apple to make the phone useless to him, but fortunately I didn’t immediately do that because I wanted to try to recover it first.

you gotta be pretty street savvy in Colombia, I typically visited less touristy places, but typically left my jewelry, phone, passport, most cash in the hotel rooms safe and only brought $20 a passport copy with me, when walking around the city. If two guys on a bike pull up next to you and stick a gun to your head, thats pretty easy to give up. Also, not dressing like a tourist and walking around with a backpack and all that, is a pretty good idea. Just trying to blend in and always being aware of your surroundings

Unfortunately this is what is happening know . When they kidnap their victims they don’t care if they have anything on them because they know they would get it through torture .

I've traveled extensively. Back pockets/waist bags/backpacks are an invitation to brazen street thieves. The very best solution I've learned is my "heavier quality" leather chest bag that is flat. It's got /strong straps/buckles THAT ARE ATTACHED WELL. Worn over the head and one arm through in front of you ABOVE your waist. Some have a strap that incircles your upper waist, which I didn't care for. The good: It's positioned allowing hands free service, and access is directly where you need it, not hanging to the side or need of removal. The downside: You've less room for your possibles, but THATS good as well. Less to entice or loose. The best: Money transactions are so much faster/safer/and close to your vision. Mine has an inside front flap that folds out to semi-shield prying eyes while sorting monies. Purchased in Spain for a song, it flat WORKS. ~Best

We never got it back and by the time we called our bank to alert them several items had been bought with our visa, they said it was because he patted his pocket to check that his wallet was safe actually alerted a thief to wear his wallet was. He now has a pair of shorts with a slash through them and a crazy story. We’re grateful he wasn’t hurt.

I was raised in Cartagena until 06', my parents used to take my siblings and I to Tairona every summer in our Renault wagon. We also went into the Sierra Nevada, beautiful jungle with ice cold rivers. It used to be way less popular and crowded in the early 90's! Very Fond memories. Sadly Cartagena has been going through a very rough spot since covid and since illegal immigration from Venezuela. The future looked extremely bright in 2010ish, but horrible city management, overbuilding, overtourism, sex tourism, drug tourism, violence etc. has almost completely ruined the city. It's just a mere shadow of how tranquil and beautiful the city used to be. In my 18 years living there I never got robbed or never heard of anyone I knew experiencing it, but nowadays, I'm not surprised, especially in the area you were walking through. The cops are just extremely underpaid (and sometimes not even paid) locals who have extremely low morale and motivation....unless you bribe them.

my only travel outside the US ..... 2008 to Bogota which was not fun..some good food and nice shopping mall but very noisy .... however we took my GFs Jeep on a road trip and stayed in Villa de Leyva for a few days .... HIGHLY recommended ... the locals are very friendly , , the town is very historic , the hotel was super nice , the food was fantastic and we took a hike into the jungle and repelled in a 100ft waterfall ....

The rappers were great.....so much passion and expertise.......all in. Regarding the robbery: Local thieves all around the world will always exploit a seen weakness if we have one. At that time, you had a few. I am sure you have cleaned up your walk since then. Thanks for the vid.

Pretty sure I'm getting this recommended by youtube cause I've been watching videos about Robert California from The Office, and "Robbed in Colombia" sounds kinda similar to that and use similar letters.

That cop in the moment was 100% more effective than any cop you will find back here in the states, clearly you have never been in any issues in the homeland lol

I am enjoying your videos and living vicariously through you. I am not a worldly traveler. I grew up in Canada and now live in the states. I have traveled to the Caribbean and Mexico. I don’t like big cities, and I probably will never go to the places you do. I have no interest in being a walking target. I have family that travel all over and I have a cousin who went to Spain and was robbed twice in the same trip. I suffer from too much anxiety to be on my toes constantly.
